9th Meeting of the UfM Climate Change Expert Group
Énergie et action pour le climat
4-5 May 2023, Barcelona. Following the mandate given to the UfM Secretariat by the 2nd UfM Ministerial Conference on Environment and Climate action under the Co-Presidency of Jordan and the European Union (Cairo, 4 October 2021), to support the implementation of the objectives of this Declaration, the 9th Meeting of the UfM Climate Change Expert Group (UfM CCEG), will be the occasion to gather a wide range of actors (UfM members’ representatives, civil society, IFIs, scientific experts…) around different topics, all related to climate action in the Mediterranean region. By organising this event, the Secretariat of the Union for the Mediterranean provides a discussion and networking framework aiming to create and enhance synergies among the different climate‑related actors, and to enrich their exchanges.
The Mediterranean region is one of the world’s climate change hotspots where the rise of temperature by 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels, the lower limit not to be surpassed as agreed through the Paris Agreement, is already being exceeded, thus the importance of gathering the Mediterranean actors in order to continue promoting an ambitious climate action.
